Uh, oh, let me try to explain again: gpreconv won't have any effect if
your document is already converted to UTF-8, and if you explicitly set
groff's input encoding to utf-8.

Well, I don't think that converting to \N'...' will be in the final
version. This is Bruno's current solution to overcome groff's
restriction of 202 input characters.

Of course.

This is far too simple. We like it more complicated.
